What Happened After a Year of Peptides
6/11/202644 min
A year ago, Elisabeth McKay made a decision she never thought she’d make.
After years of managing lupus symptoms, inflammation, migraines, hormonal dysfunction, and unexplained weight gain through diet, exercise, and lifestyle interventions, her body stopped responding to everything that had worked before.
In this episode of Decoded, Elisabeth shares her full one-year peptide update, including what happened after microdosing tirzepatide, coming off of it completely, and eventually returning after autoimmune symptoms and inflammation resurfaced.
FYI -This is not a weight-loss story.
This is a conversation about chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease, hormones, stress, recovery, and what happens when your body finally starts responding again.
In this episode, Elisabeth discusses:
• Her history with lupus and autoimmune symptoms
• The role stress played in inflammation and weight gain
• Why traditional fitness approaches stopped working
• Her experience microdosing tirzepatide for a full year
• What happened when she stopped taking it
• Protein, electrolytes, and nutrition considerations
• Other peptides she has explored
• Sauna, red light therapy, vibration plates, and recovery protocols
• How she feels at 41 compared to 35
If you've been curious about peptides, tirzepatide, inflammation, autoimmune recovery, or microdosing protocols, this episode provides a transparent look at one person's long-term experience.

For those of you that have dealt with chronic illness and autoimmune disease, you've spent so much of your life not feeling good that when you finally know what it feels like to feel good again, you want that back. I, I knew very definitively, I'm like, "Oh, okay, this was a great experiment. Never doing this again." [instrumental music] Your brain is wired for deception, but here's the truth. Patterns can be broken. The code can be rewritten. Once you hear the truth, you can't go back. So the only question is, are you ready to listen? Y'all, this episode has been needing to happen for probably almost a year. So many of you have been waiting anxiously on my peptide update that never happened. You know why? Because life got so good and I started to feel so good in my body that I forgot about the whole thing. Now, I'm going to try my best to catalog back from probably the first one I ever did on it was maybe June of last year. Now we're almost in June of this year so it just seems like the right time to do the peptide update. For those of you that haven't listened to the original one, it was in season one and I believe the episode was called The Peptide Protocol. At that point, I was a solid 35 pounds heavier of arguably inflammation,
